小編前言:英語四級六級常見閱讀考點(diǎn)出處(上)中,滬江四六級教研Julie老師為大家談到四六級常見閱讀考點(diǎn)出處的第一大特征為:邏輯關(guān)系處常考,常考的邏輯關(guān)系包括轉(zhuǎn)折、并列和因果。這一篇,給大家?guī)淼氖堑诙筇卣鳎禾厥鈽?biāo)記。

常見閱讀考點(diǎn)出處之三 — 特殊標(biāo)記

細(xì)心的同學(xué)會在以前的四六級大綱中發(fā)現(xiàn),快速閱讀部分寫到:“要求考生運(yùn)用略讀和查讀的技能從篇章中獲取信息?!翱己藢W(xué)生利用各種提示,快速查找特定信息的能力。這些提示包括文中的以下信息:

1. 數(shù)字
2. 大寫單詞
3. 段首或句首詞等

很顯然,這一條不僅適用于快速閱讀,也適用于仔細(xì)閱讀。

真題再現(xiàn)

例1:In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen(監(jiān)督) “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.” (2009.12, cet4)

65. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _____.
A. she was known to be good at raising money
B. she could help strengthen its ties with Yale
C. she knew how to attract students overseas
D. she had boosted Yale’s academic status

【答案】A

【解析】文中提到,劍橋大學(xué)于2003年任命Alison Richard為副校長,而句中publicly stressed(公開強(qiáng)調(diào))之后的內(nèi)容即為任命她的原因,便是:在以前的崗位上她的監(jiān)管使得“耶魯?shù)呢?cái)政地位得到顯著加強(qiáng)”。所以,推理可知,答案為A。

例2:Richard Got professor of astrophysics at Princeton, hopes man will set up a self-sufficient colony on Mars, which would be a “l(fā)ife insurance policy against whatever catastrophes, natural or otherwise, might occur on Earth. (2008.6, cet6)

66. According to Princeton professor Richard Gott, by setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars, Humans_____.
A. might survive all catastrophes on earth
B. might acquire ample natural resources
C. will be able to travel to Mars freely
D. will move there to live a better life

【答案】A

【解析】題干中setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars可在原文中直接找到,原文中which引導(dǎo)的定語從句表示的內(nèi)容就是setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars所帶來的影響:人類能夠應(yīng)對地球上各種各樣的災(zāi)難從而幸存下來。A選項(xiàng)中的survive all catastrophes on earth 是對原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。

常見閱讀考點(diǎn)出處之四 — 標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號

滬江網(wǎng)校四六級教研Julie老師為大家連續(xù)講解的閱讀考點(diǎn)??汲鎏幍谌筇卣?,也是最后一個(gè)特征就是:總有部分題目出自引人注目的 —— 標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號處。在四六級閱讀過程中,引人注目的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號,不得不關(guān)注的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號主要有兩類:1. 引號;2. 小括號。

1. 引號

1)尤其是當(dāng)引號表示著重強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)
如:
They are using fewer of the very deferential “women’s” forms, and even using the few strong forms that are know as “men’s” .

2)某人說的話,能夠集中表達(dá)一個(gè)事實(shí)或觀點(diǎn)時(shí)
如:
"If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much." said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor.

2. 小括號

小括號()中間加一個(gè)漢語注釋,非常容易引起大家的注意。此處就不贅述。我們還是通過真題舉例來看具體考察情況吧。

真題再現(xiàn)

例1(引號):Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction."(2010, 6, cet4)

8. In one of the messages she posted on a website, Toebe admitted that she ______.
【答案】had an Internet Addiction

【解析】首先分析結(jié)構(gòu)可知,本空所填內(nèi)容是充當(dāng)that賓語從句的謂語,主句的admitted表明謂語應(yīng)用過去時(shí)。原文提到Toebe在雅虎的一個(gè)上網(wǎng)成癮群里發(fā)了一條消息,引號中的內(nèi)容為這條小的的主題:“我有網(wǎng)癮”。由此可知,Toebe承認(rèn)自己“上網(wǎng)成癮”。故答案根據(jù)時(shí)態(tài)要求進(jìn)行修改為:had an Internet Addiction.

例2:(小括號)The use of deferential (敬重的) language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman, which dominates conservative gender norms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background, subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; she “treads softly (謹(jǐn)言慎行)in the world,” elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form.

57. The first paragraph describes in detail ________.
A. the standards set for contemporary Japanese women
B. the Confucian influence on gender norms in Japan
C. the stereotyped role of women in Japanese families
D. the norms for traditional Japanese women to follow

【答案】D

【解析】考點(diǎn)出處是第一段的總述話語,它介紹了日本女性在說話時(shí)使用敬語是女性完美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的象征,其后面幾句是對這種保守性別規(guī)范下女性美德的詳細(xì)描述,所以正確答案為D。
